Special Olympics Delaware’s annual Night of Heroes, sponsored by Dow, is a celebration to honor key contributors to the organization, is set for 7:30 p.m. Oct. 10 at the Executive Banquet & Conference Center, 205 Executive Drive, Newark.

Former Philadelphia Eagle and motivational speaker Kevin Reilly will serve as emcee, along with several Special Olympics athlete presenters.

Jonathan Stoklosa, of Newark, a Special Olympics athlete who has won medals at local, national and world games, will be inducted into the organization’s Hall of Fame.

“Night of Heroes is an opportunity for the organization to honor and recognize those who have either excelled as participants in our program or have helped enrich our mission,” said Ann Grunert, executive director. “The people and organizations we are honoring have not only given countless hours and made innumerable contributions over their years of service, but they’ve also made a long-lasting impression on the athletes we serve.”
